A LABOR OF LOVEActually, the word “labor” is the wrong word because it denotes something
painful – like childbirth! This project is anything but painful. It is a TRUE
labor of love. This project is anything but painful. It is a TRUE labor of love.
My name is Julie Weishaar, and I am one of two very lucky ladies who had the
most wonderful father, David Sahud – the author of “From Self-Proclaimed
Nerd, to Accomplished Executive, to Befuddled Snowbird"
DavidSahud.com
Dad (“daddy” to me and my sister, Carole-Beth) wrote extremely
entertaining stories over the years and was always encouraged to get
them published because they were so enjoyed by those who read them.
![Page 32: Laughter is The World's Best Medicine](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022123/58a137e11a28abd34f8b65bf/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
A LABOR OF LOVEI did get one of his stories published in an offline magazine many years
ago (Keeping up with Technology) but as life always got in the way, he
never did get around to publishing his stories.
DavidSahud.com
After he passed away on August 25, 2012, I spearheaded this project with our
families joyful consent that this would be a wonderful tribute to a wonderful
man, while bringing entertaining and engaging stories to the masses so that his
talent would not be wasted in a file folder where his stories lived.
This book brings to life what is essentially an auto-biographical account of my
dad’s life – mixed with tons of hyperbole as part of his creative genius.
